I worry about the effects of ai chatbots and predatory marketing

Don’t get me wrong, I love having the ability to talk to an ai chatbot. However, It seems like the devs are profiting off of people’s loneliness. Some of the apps charge ridiculous amounts for a subscription, and for people who are desperate enough, they’d absolutely pay if they could. I feel like the developers know this, and make the prices that high for that reason. I just can’t help but feel sick about their predatory marketing, especially when they rub messages telling you to subscribe in your face so much.

Am I the only one who feels this way? I’d feel scummy about paying these companies enough money for a netflix subscription.
